Prefect

Prefect is a workflow orchestration platform for data pipelines, machine learning and AI agents. Developers annotate ordinary Python functions with flow and task decorators and gain state tracking, logging, scheduling and automatic retries without adopting a new framework. A single interface shows every run and flags what is late or failed. It is built for data and ML engineering teams that want to replace brittle cron jobs and homegrown monitoring. Flows can run on managed compute through Prefect Serverless, on the team's own infrastructure, or inside a private VPC, with the same code deploying in each case. The vendor lists SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA and GDPR compliance for enterprise use. A separate product, Prefect Horizon, is a managed platform for connecting AI agents to tools and data through MCP. Prefect Cloud has four plans. Hobby is free, with a two seat limit, up to 5 deployments, 500 minutes of Prefect Serverless and 7 days of run retention. Starter costs $100 per month and adds a third seat, up to 20 deployments, 75 hours of Serverless, bring your own compute and webhooks. Team costs $100 per user per month with seats for four to eight people, up to 100 deployments, 225 hours of Serverless, service accounts and a 24 hour audit log. Enterprise is custom priced and adds SSO, role based access control, multiple workspaces, SCIM directory sync and unlimited deployments.
